| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hello Roger,I'd like to come back to tube testers. I'm not sure I understand correctly about your recommendation for a simpler device, to measure emissions. Is this for the basic purpose of monitoring for tube failure? Would I need a tester wit... | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches mpdahl,I, too, am isolated with you in Wyoming. My technical knowledge is very limited, but I have been involved with audio for quite a while and with Audiogon for a good while. The latter involvement has greatly helped with the development of m... | |
| What is most important part of a system? mikelavigne, your point of view based on experience makes sense to me. Sonic "vision" and the noted specifics of technology to support it.Thanks! | |
| What is most important part of a system? gsm18439, your post intrigued me. I'm not as experienced as many here, but I'm not inexperienced. However, while the information you provide makes sense, I don't come to the same conclusion. I would conclude from your experience that the change... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks to charles1dad and ozzy,I, too, spoke to Ralph. I hope I won't misquote, but he told me that the cap upgrade would improve transparency and that the power upgrade would improve smoothness at higher volume levels. He said that the Caddock ... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design To All, I'm going to ask a question that I think is relevant. A little less than a year ago I purchased the latest (3.3) version of the M-60's, without upgrades, directly from Ralph and have been a very pleased listener, using a little tube rolli... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? I have limited folk experience, but I want to second the vote for Linda Thompson. The previous album, I Want to See the Bright Lights, is one of my favorites, mainly for her voice on several of the songs. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan has answered my question about the Zu Druid/Definition and Atma-Sphere amp comparison, leaning me toward the Druids.Thanks again,Mark | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hello Jordan,I certainly does. Before I returned to this discussion I had already replied to your email reply. Would you have anything to add about the comparison in presentation between the Zu Druid V and the Definition (Mk IV?), with the M60's... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles,As advised, I sent an email to Germanboxers.Thanks,Mark | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I've spoken with Ralph Karsten, who has given moderate endorsement of Zu speakers, so far not having been specific, tending to recommend AudioKinesis speakers. I understand Sean Casey is out of the country presently, but I intend to speak with hi... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup This a very informative discussion that I just found. My question is about matching of Zu speakers and Atma-Sphere amps. I've just made my first venture into tube amplification with the M-60 monoblocks. My understanding is that these OTL amps w... | |
| Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material Thanks for the tip, Sfar. However, I'm certainly willing to consider moving on from Vibrapods. My main question is whether there is comparative experience with other coupling devices and how those devices have possibly interacted with their platfo... | |
| Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material Thanks for the responses. I understand that if I'm going to consider a change to wood shelves, then I would need to change to a different coupling device, like brass points or the Black Diamond Racing cones. I don't know if there would be expected... | |
| Noisy, loose Audience Au24e connector Thanks for the responses. As I suspected, evidently the problem has occurred with several reputable companies' products. I must say again that I was very pleased with the Audience customer service. I purchased the cables here on Audiogon and certa... |
